Pros:
Lyrical content is incredibly personal and relatable, balancing cautious optimism against notes of sorrow to create a captivating atmosphere
Arrangements are textured brilliantly, utilising a plethora of gorgeous synth pads and acoustic elements
Production is warm and impeccably clean, keeping a retro feel without sacrificing on clarity
Lead vocals, especially when aided by rich harmonies, are a joy to behold
Cons:
Songwriting feels a little safe and standard at times, ultimately failing to evolve the artist's sound
Some ambient sections can be somewhat needlessly overextended
Best: A Given Thing
Worst: And in the Darkness
8/10 New obsession just dropped
